Thieves in New Castle County, Delaware are using GPS tracking devices to trace and steal expensive cars, police warned.

Investigators said it only takes a few seconds for criminals to put the small, magnetic black boxes underneath high-end cars that are parked in public areas. Then, they track the car to the driver’s home.

Among the vehicles targeted: Dodge Chargers, Challengers, Hellcats and Durangos, and Jeep Trackhawks. Owners of these types of cars should be careful when parking in public spaces, and they should inspect their vehicles for any tracking devices.

If you find one on your vehicle, don’t try to remove it, he advised. Instead, call the cops.
The device can be used to help track down the would-be thief.
